My response keeps disappearing from this thread when I post it. My fabulous surgeon in Tijuana, Mexico was Dr. Ramos Kelly. I had a great experience and no complications. I stayed at Hospitale Angeles for a few days and then at Hotel Lucerna for a couple of days. He visited me twice a day in the hospital and once a day at the hotel. Since returning home Dr. Ramos Kelly has still provided guidance and answered questions when I needed it. The care I received was better than most US surgeons and hospitals. Do your research and you'll find the best qualified clinician for you. Good luck!

Excellent experience with Dr Garcia of Tijuana Bariatrics. Very good care and everything has gone super well post. I chose single incision, which I'm quite pleased with.

I had my surgery with Dr. jaime Ponce de leon Palomares, surgery and hospital stay was at Hospital Angeles (which we did pay more for- my fiancé insisted on the biggest/nicest hospital). He was very nice and friendly and so was his assistant Sergio. Absolutely 0 complications and I'm 2 weeks out. Stitches and drain wound almost entirelt healed and looka like there will br almost no visible scars for me. The Drs and staff were very nice and even those who did not speak English at least tried - and to be fair my spanish is not fluent, but they appreciated me trying and it was enough to get by (Google translate worked when there were words we didn't know how to translate!)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
